Notice of Intent To Rule on a Land Release Request at Saratoga
County Airport (5B2), Ballston Spa, NY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the
application for a release of approximately 1.79 acres of federally
obligated airport property at Saratoga County Airport, Ballston Spa,
Saratoga County, NY, from conditions, reservations, and restrictions
contained in Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants that would
restrict the use of said land to aeronautical purposes. This acreage is
composed of a portion of a parcel that was acquired by Saratoga County
though AIP Grant 3-36-0004-05-1987. It is requested that FAA approval
be given to release the 1.79 acres for disposal to allow a currently
existing non-aeronautical use on the parcel to continue. The land is
not
[[Page 30514]]
needed for aeronautical purposes and the Federal share of the proceeds
from the sale of land would be dedicated to a future AIP eligible
airport effort.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 8, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be submitted to Robert
Costa, Federal Aviation Administration, New York Airports District
Office via phone at (718) 995-5778 or at the email address
[email protected]. Comments on this application may also be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Evelyn Martinez,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Costa, Assistant Manager,
Federal Aviation Administration, New York Airports District Office, 1
Aviation Plaza, Jamaica, New York 11434. Telephone: 718-995-5778.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements. The following is a brief
overview of the request.
The County of Saratoga has requested release from grant assurance
obligations of approximately 1.79 acres of airport property at Saratoga
County Airport to permit the disposal of the land at fair market value
to allow an existing not-for-profit hospice facility to continue to
operate on site. The airport has no plans to utilize the parcel for
aviation use. The 1.79 acres sits on a larger 5.48-acre parcel
currently owned by the airport. The 5.48-acre parcel will be split into
two parcels; a 3.69-acre parcel that will be retained by the airport,
as it includes a portion of the Runway 23 Runway Protection Zone, and
the 1.79-acre parcel that is outside of the Runway Protection Zone and
currently houses the not-for-profit hospice facility and associated
parking area. As a condition of the release, the proposed use must not
interfere with the airport or its operations. The Federal share of the
proceeds of the disposal would be distributed towards approved AIP
eligible efforts, with the remaining proceeds to be utilized to operate
the airport. For these reasons, it is not anticipated that this acreage
will be needed for aeronautical purposes in the future.
Issued in Jamaica, New York, on June 2, 2021.
Evelyn Martinez,
Manager, New York Airports District Office.
